JMP for Mixed Models: A Comprehensive Guide by Rebecca Bryn

Mixed models are a powerful statistical tool that can be used to analyze data with complex structures, such as repeated measures or hierarchical data. JMP is a statistical software package that is well-suited for fitting and analyzing mixed models.

This guide is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of mixed models in JMP. We will cover the basics of mixed models, including the different types of mixed models, the assumptions of mixed models, and the interpretation of mixed models results. We will also provide detailed instructions on how to fit and analyze mixed models in JMP, with plenty of examples and exercises to help you along the way.

Mixed models are a type of statistical model that can be used to analyze data with complex structures. Mixed models are also known as hierarchical linear models or multilevel models.

Mixed models are a generalization of linear models, which are used to analyze data with a single level of nesting. For example, a linear model could be used to analyze the relationship between the height and weight of a group of people.

Mixed models can be used to analyze data with multiple levels of nesting. For example, a mixed model could be used to analyze the relationship between the height and weight of a group of people, where the people are nested within families.

The main difference between linear models and mixed models is that mixed models take into account the correlation between observations within the same group. This makes mixed models more powerful than linear models for analyzing data with complex structures.

There are many different types of mixed models, each of which is designed to analyze a specific type of data structure. Some of the most common types of mixed models include:

• Linear mixed models: Linear mixed models are used to analyze data with a continuous outcome variable.
• Logistic mixed models: Logistic mixed models are used to analyze data with a binary outcome variable.
• Poisson mixed models: Poisson mixed models are used to analyze data with a count outcome variable.
• Negative binomial mixed models: Negative binomial mixed models are used to analyze data with a count outcome variable that is overdispersed.
• Random effects models: Random effects models are used to analyze data with a random effect, such as the effect of a teacher on the成绩of his or her students.
• Fixed effects models: Fixed effects models are used to analyze data with a fixed effect, such as the effect of a drug on the blood pressure of a group of patients.

The type of mixed model that you choose will depend on the type of data that you have and the research question that you are trying to answer.

Like all statistical models, mixed models are based on a set of assumptions. These assumptions include:

• Linearity: The relationship between the outcome variable and the predictor variables is linear.
• Homogeneity of variance: The variance of the outcome variable is the same for all observations.
• Independence of observations: The observations are independent of each other.
• Normality: The residuals are normally distributed.

It is important to note that these assumptions are only approximations. In many cases, it is not possible to meet all of the assumptions exactly. However, it is important to be aware of the assumptions of mixed models so that you can assess the potential impact of violations of these assumptions on your results.

The results of a mixed model analysis can be used to answer a variety of research questions. Some of the most common types of questions that can be answered with mixed models include:

• What is the effect of a particular predictor variable on the outcome variable?
• Is there a significant difference between the means of two or more groups?
• Is there a random effect that is affecting the outcome variable?

The interpretation of mixed models results can be complex, but there are a number of resources available to help you understand the results of your analysis.

JMP is a statistical software package that is well-suited for fitting and analyzing mixed models. JMP provides a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to fit and analyze mixed models, even for beginners.

To fit a mixed model in JMP, you will need to:

1. Select the data that you want to analyze.
2. Choose the type of mixed model that you want to fit.
3. Specify the fixed effects and random effects in the model.
4. Fit the model.

JMP will then provide you with a summary of the results of the model fit. You can use this summary to interpret the results of your analysis and answer your research questions.

The following examples and exercises will help you to learn how to fit and analyze mixed models in JMP.

Example 1: Fit a linear mixed model to analyze the relationship between the height and weight of a group of people.

Exercise 1: Use the data from Example 1 to test the hypothesis that there is a significant difference between the mean height of men and women.

Example 2: Fit a logistic mixed model to analyze the relationship between the smoking status and the risk of developing lung cancer.

Exercise 2: Use the data from Example 2 to estimate the odds ratio for the relationship between smoking status and the risk of developing lung cancer.

Example 3: Fit a random effects model to analyze the relationship between the成绩of students and the teacher who taught them.

Exercise 3: Use the data from Example 3 to estimate the variance of the random effect for the teacher.
